PAST CLUB MEETINGS

Meeting #9 - Saturday 28 September 2019 at Holbrook. Holbrook has absolutely welcomed Toastmasters.  Amazing food. Everyone so interested and keen,  Excitement about the Area contests that EasyRiders will be hosting in Holbrook in February.  Our meeting was spread out over the entire day.  After enjoying the local markets at the Submarine, we began our meeting.  The meeting continued at the Woolpack Inn Museum then over lunch we had prepared speeches, evaluations, educational items. A few more locations then a fantastic dinner.  Our Area Director Victoria attended for her official visit, and Emily-Jane, a visiting Toastmaster joined us for the day.

Meeting #8 - Saturday 31 August 2019 at Wagga. Glorious weather visited us for our August Adventure.  Our special guide booklet included homework to research before the meeting, and tasks to complete on the day.  We ended up having another progressive meeting over the course of the day, which took in markets, lunch, club leadership training, post CLT, and dinner.  The round robin explaining our version of the Wagga flag was very entertaining, as well we had visitors from other clubs, a Pathways Icebreaker Speech, an advanced speech, impromptu speaking with some very interesting topics and lots of fun and laughter.

Meeting #7 - Saturday 27 July 2019 for An Adventure in Braidwood.  Once you arrived in Braidwood, you had to pick up your Adventure Guide with instructions on what you had to do - purchase something to eat, find a historical building that you liked, buy something that could be used as a table topic etc.  We then met up on the markets, started our progressive meeting, welcomed guests and explained about why we chose the historicial building.   

We then moved onto the next stage of the meeting over lunch, and then finished our meeting with a trip to the Ice Creamery where we had to share our homework or some historical facts about icecream, and the winner of the best random fact (Guest Vlad) won the prize.

An excellent day trip with education, fun and adventure and shared with members and guests.

Meeting #6 - Sunday 26 May 2019 at The Original Gold Rush Colony at Mogo. As members of EasyRiders are dual members of other clubs, we had respresentatives from the following clubs at our meeting: Batemans Bay Club, THE Club, Bega Club, EasyRiders Club, Queanbeyan Club ...

We had a fantastic lunch in Mogo, then walked and talked thru Old Mogo Town, had our meeting including some fabulous topics and speeches.  Some continued to look around and some panned for gold, sadly not very successfully.

Some of the members of EasyRiders Toastmasters - L-R: Denise, Noal, Amanda, Vivian.

Meeting #5 - Saturday 27 April 2019 at Harvest by the River Cafe at Tumut - joint meeting with Tumut Toastmasters and the running of the EasyRiders Speakoff Contest against Tumut Club.

A full weekend in Tumut with their annual Festival of the Falling Leaf.  We attended markets, cheered on from the side as the Street Parade went past, had our meeting and even went to the brilliant fireworks display that were all part of the festival.  Would thoroughly recommend doing this again.

Our Tumut Toastmasters friends were wonderfully organised and were fierce competitors in the Speakoff, but despite fabulous speeches by newest EasyRider member Siobhan and experienced EasyRider member Amanda, our Tumut friends Trish & Karen came 1st and 2nd in the Speakoff and now hold the right to conduct next year's contest on their home turf.

Photos below show Siobhan, Amanda, the competitors of the Speakoff and some of the members of Tumut & EasyRiders Toastmasters on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River.  Special thanks to EasyRiders President Noal who was the instigator behind the Speakoff contest with Tumut.

Meeting #4 - Saturday 30 March 2019 at The Field of Dreams Cafe at Crisp Galleries, Hume Highway, about 15 minutes from Yass.

We had a good rollup of members, and welcomed our Area Director Kerry for her official visit.

We had prepared speeches from Amanda Annabel on "My Army Joke", Kerry Brookshaw "The English Australian" and visiting guest Toastmaster and now member Siobhan Mealing "Public Health".

Wonderful educational by Amanda Annabel explaining the background and correctness between 'Welcome to Country' and 'Acknowledgement of Traditional Custodians'.

Discussion on future meetings with some more location ideas: Yass Show held in March each year, Moruya Show held in January, and the Cherry Festival held in Young in early December.

If we plan to attend items such as these, we will try and incorporate Toastmasters in a stall etc. to help promote the organisation.

Meeting #3 - Saturday 16 February 2019  at Tumut Bowling Club with Tumut Toastasters to participate in Club Leadership Training and support Tumut Toastmasters Competition. 

This was a great initiative to develop cooperation and camaraderie between rural and remote clubs.  The day finished with dinner at the Tumut Brewery which was great fun. 

Easy Riders also aquired a new member over the weekend with Denise Paton coming on board due to our travelling nature and her weatherproof 4 wheeled motorcycle.

Meeting #2 - Saturday 26 January 2019  at  Cooma RSL with 5 visitors choosing to celebrate Australia Day with us in air conditioned comfort during a blasting heat wave.

One visitor was Estelle Hutchison, Monaro Division Director and another wasTim Potter, Area 19 Director.  The other 3 visitors were Tim's family.  Tim's 2 sons knocked our socks off with  speeches about their school activities.  They are boys to look out for in the future.

Meeting #1 - Saturday 2018  at Batemans Bay Soldiers Club where EasyRiders hosted Pathways Training for the south coast clubs.  Sebastian Sabater DTM gave a brilliant presentation on Pathways which cleared up many misconceptions.
